balance transfer for cash?

Hi, ive just applied for a halifax 0% balance transfer card but am wanting the balance transferred into my bank account (to buy a car) not to pay off another card. Is this still possible? i did this years ago but the apllication form this time only wanted to know about other cards....
TIA

    Some cards don't do it some do.
    Sounds like your card doesn't do it unless it mentions money transfers.
    Here's a list of those that do.

    You may be able to create a balance on another card by using paypal to send a "gift"; then transferring the balance under the balance transfer offer you have, but there will be two sets of fees!
